You could get two times from Covid and it could be even worse, the doctor warns
Recent research suggests that coronavirus immunity fades over time.
Antibody tests have become popular as they are designed to tell you if you have coronavirus antibodies, which means you wereInfected with COVID-19 At one point, even if you did not know. Many people are banking on the hope they had a softness orasymptomatic case Coronavirus, and that the resulting antibodies will provide them with virus immunity in the future. However, a doctor says that hope is lost, because the immunity of this coronavirus seems to fade - which means that you could get Covid twice, and it could be worse.
"Individually, it means that if you had it, you must be as careful as if you did not have it, because you could put it back again, andcould cause exactly the same disease As this caused the first time, worse, "William Haseltine, a former professor at Harvard Medical School and Current President of Access Health International, said CNN during an interview with July 13th.

According to Haseltine, the coronavirus behind Covid-19 is different from viruses behind infections such as measles or mumps, which you can get once, then be "protected for life". Instead, this coronavirus is similar to that of the other viruses that give us things like the common cold, where your body is essentially "forgetful" that it was never infected, allowing a reinfection.
"Every year, the four coronavirus the same come back to make us cold ... If you have one of these coronaviruses, it cancause exactly the same disease a year later"," Haseltine has previously told CNN on June 23rd.
Haseltine remarks have been saved by three separate studies. The first was a June study of China published inMedicine of nature who showedThe antibodies have fallen quickly in asymptomatic and symptomatic covidant patients. Then came a Spanish study published on July 5thThe lancetwho has sleptdoubt about the perspective of the immunity of the flock, As only about 5% of the Spanish population had developed antibodies - a cry of 70 to 90% needed to help stop the spread of the virus through the immunity of the herd.
The most recent study comes from the United Kingdom, published on July 11 by the King's College London. This study, which has not yet been examined by peers, revealed that the level of antibody had to fight the coronavirusdecreased quickly after only three weeks from the beginning of the infection. According to Haseltine, the immunity of the flock is a "fantasy" for Covid-19. Although it happens for some viruses, he says it "does not seem that it will happen for it."
"The immunity of the flock depends on sustainable immunity, and if it does not exist, you can not have herd immunity," he said. "This [coronavirus] looks like his brothers and sisters, except that it's much more naughty." And for more reinfection,If you are asymptomatic, you may be more likely to get the coronavirus again.
